Cubes have become the galaxy’s most important commodity, being used as crates, musical instruments, octopus housing, sculptures, and more. Use your cube-designing skills to keep a struggling factory running, and eventually earn a post at the most prestigious cube fabricator, Hexahedra Inc. Dig into rumours that some cubes are being used for sinister purposes, and field an array of oddly aquatic requests received on damp paper in strange ink.

Design

Hexahedra is an open-ended programming puzzle game. Fill a factory with a variety of devices and program them to work together to produce the required cubes. Use the grid command system to create complex loops, and branch the logic flow using lasers and proximity sensors. Pull apart and reassemble cubes, merge them, paint them, teleport them, set fire to them, add payloads, and ship them off to the customer.
 

Rewind

Grab the timeline handle and crank time backwards to see the state of the factory in the past. Replay past steps and spot where a solution has a bug or could be made more efficient.

Optimize

Compete against your friends and the rest of the world to produce the quickest or simplest solution to each puzzle.

Create

Build your own puzzles using Hexahedra's built-in level editor and share them with friends or via the Steam Workshop.

Save (or rule!) the Galaxy

Cubes have become the galaxy's most important commodity, a fact that some intend to exploit to their own advantage. Track down the conspiracy, infiltrate it, and bring it down. Or don't, and take your place amongst the new rulers.
